Computational techniques have become indispensable tools in solving complex problems in transport phenomena. This book provides a clear, user-oriented introduction to the subject of computational transport phenomena. Each self-contained chapter includes a detailed worked example and a discussion of the problem system equations. Also included are the numerical methods used; computer code for the solution of the problem system equations; discussion of the numerical solution with emphasis on physical interpretation; and, when appropriate, a comparison of the numerical solution with an analytical...

Offers numerical algorithms and associated software for solving a spectrum of problems in ordinary differential equations, differential algebraic equations, and partial differential equations that occur in science and engineering. This book also presents examples, each including an analysis of a computer code written in transportable Fortran 77.
